That's how I like my steak!

I don't see anything wrong with this at all. This is how tigers live, they hunt live prey and kill it. There is an instinctual NEED to hunt live prey. Anyone who has a cat has seen them pounce, even if we feed them already-dead food.

By turning it into a spectacle, we are not abusing the victimized animal by watching it die. The point isn't to watch a cow get torn apart because it's "cool". Zoos and wildlife parks exist for a reason: people come to learn about the animals. Attacking live animals is part of the tigers' lifestyle. And kids understand why they don't go near them!

The only problem I see is that natural selection plays no part. The slowest cows aren't the only one's being hunted now. But the impact is so small, I can't really see it becoming a significant problem.
